1. INTRODUCTION
In this research we have surveyed the product performance and buying behavior of two famous
brands of chocolate- nestle and Cadbury, which are consumed by people of all ages.

During this research I have interacted with people of “Delhi”. After this research I came to know how
people perceives these product on the variable like price, quality, advertisement, satisfaction, taste,
packaging, brand loyalty etc. and I also came to know which particular brand of chocolate is
preferred by people of different age groups.

In this research I have also surveyed that how frequently and how much chocolates they consume,
trend of ongoing changing their likings has been shown in this report.

History Of Nestle

Nestlé’s origins date back to 1866, when two separate Swiss enterprises were founded that would
later form the core of Nestlé. In the succeeding decades, the two competing enterprises aggressively
expanded their businesses throughout Europe and the United States.

In August 1867, Charles (US consul in Switzerland) and George Page, two brothers from Lee County,
Illinois, USA, established the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company in Cham, Switzerland. Their
first British operation was opened at Chippenham, Wiltshire, in 1873.

In September 1866, in Vevey, Henri Nestlé developed a milk-based baby food, and soon began
marketing it. The following year saw Daniel Peter begin seven years of work perfecting his invention,
the milk chocolate manufacturing process. Nestlé’s was the crucial cooperation that Peter needed to
solve the problem of removing all the water from the milk added to his chocolate and thus preventing
the product from developing mildew. Henri Nestlé retired in 1875 but the company, under new
ownership, retained his name as SociétéFarineLactée Henri Nestlé.

In 1877, Anglo-Swiss added milk-based baby foods to their products; in the following year, the
Nestlé Company added condensed milk, such that the firms became direct and fierce rivals.

In 1905, the companies merged to become the Nestlé and Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company,
retaining that name until 1947, when the name ‘Nestlé Alimentana SA’ was taken as a result of the
acquisition of Fabrique de Produits Maggi SA (founded 1884) and its holding company, Alimentana
SA, of Kempttal, Switzerland. Maggi was a major manufacturer of soup mixes and related foodstuffs.
The company’s current name was adopted in 1977. By the early 1900s, the company was operating
factories in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain. The First World War created
demand for dairy products in the form of government contracts, and, by the end of the war, Nestlé’s
production had more than doubled.

Nestlé felt the effects of the Second World War immediately. Profits dropped from US$20 million in
1938, to US$6 million in 1939. Factories were established in developing countries, particularly in
Latin America. Ironically, the war helped with the introduction of the company’s newest product,
Nescafé (“Nestlé’s Coffee”), which became a staple drink of the US military. Nestlé’s production and
sales rose in the wartime economy.

After the war, government contracts dried up, and consumers switched back to fresh milk. However,
Nestlé’s management responded quickly, streamlining operations and reducing debt. The 1920s saw
Nestlé’s first expansion into new products, with chocolate-manufacture becoming the company’s
second most important activity. Louis Dapples was CEO till 1937, when succeeded by Édouard
Muller till his death in 1948.

The end of World War II was the beginning of a dynamic phase for Nestlé. Growth accelerated and
numerous companies were acquired. In 1947 Nestlé merged with Maggi, a manufacturer of
seasonings and soups. Crosse & Blackwell followed in 1950, as did Findus (1963), Libby’s (1971)

and Stouffer’s (1973). Diversification came with a shareholding in L’Oreal in 1974. In 1977, Nestlé
made its second venture outside the food industry, by acquiring Alcon Laboratories Inc.

In the 1980s, Nestlé’s improved bottom line allowed the company to launch a new round of
acquisitions. Carnation was acquired for $3 billion in 1984 and brought the evaporated milk brand, as
well as Coffee-Mate and Friskies to Nestlé. The confectionery company Rowntree Mackintosh was
acquired in 1988 for $4.5 billion, which brought brands such as Kit Kat, Smarty's and Aero.

The first half of the 1990s proved to be favorable for Nestlé. Trade barriers crumbled, and world
markets developed into more or less integrated trading areas. Since 1996, there have been various
acquisitions, including San Pellegrino (1997), Spillers Pet foods (1998), and Ralston Purina (2002).
There were two major acquisitions in North America, both in 2002 – in June, Nestlé merged its U.S.
ice cream business into Dreyer’s, and in August a US$2.6 billion acquisition was announced of Chef
America, the creator of Hot Pockets. In the same time-frame, Nestlé came close to purchasing the
iconic American company Hershey’s, one of its fiercest confectionery competitors, although the deal
eventually fell through. Another recent purchase included the Jenny Craig weight-loss program, for
US$600 million.

In December 2005, Nestlé bought the Greek company Delta Ice Cream for €240 million. In January
2006, it took full ownership of Dreyer’s, thus becoming the world’s largest ice cream maker, with a
17.5% market share.

In November 2006, Nestlé purchased the Medical Nutrition division of Novartis Pharmaceutical for
US$2.5 billion, also acquiring, in 2007, the milk-flavouring product known as Ovaltine.

In April 2007, returning to its roots, Nestlé bought US baby-food manufacturer Gerber for
$5.5 billion. In December 2007, Nestlé entered into a strategic partnership with a Belgian chocolate
maker, Pierre Marcolini. Nestlé agreed to sell its controlling stake in Alcon to Novartis on 4 January
2010. The sale was to form part of a broader US$39.3 billion offer, by Novartis, for full acquisition of
the world’s largest eye-care company.

On 1 March 2010, Nestlé concluded the purchase of Kraft Foods's North American frozen pizza
business for $3.7 billion.

In July 2011, Nestlé SA agreed to buy 60 percent of Hsu Fu Chi International Ltd. for about $1.7
billion. On 23 April 2012, Nestlé agreed to acquire Pfizer Inc.'s infant-nutrition unit for $11.9 billion.
Before the acquisition, there was a 'bidding war' between the three shareholders Nestlé, Mead
Johnson Nutrition and DANONE. Each of the companies held a share, with Nestlé holding the
biggest share (17%) (Johnson held 15%, DANONE 13%).

As of 28 May 2013, Nestlé has announced that it will expand R&D in its research center
in Singapore. With a primary focus on health and nutrition, Nestlé is investing $4.3
million in its Singapore center, creating 20 jobs for experts in related R&D 昀椀elds. In
2013 Nestlé Nigeria successfully pioneered and implemented the use of compressed
natural gas as a fuel source to power their Flower gate factory.

History of Cadbury

In 1824, John Cadbury began selling tea, coffee, and drinking chocolate in Bull Street in
Birmingham, England. From 1831 he moved into the production of a variety of cocoa and drinking
chocolates, made in a factory in Bridge Street and sold mainly to the wealthy because of the high cost
of production.In 1847 John Cadbury became a partner with his brother Benjamin and the company
became known as "Cadbury Brothers".

The brothers opened an office in London, and in 1854 they received the Royal Warrant as
manufacturers of chocolate and cocoa to Queen Victoria. The company went into decline in the late
1850s.

John Cadbury's sons Richard and George took over the business in 1861. At the time of the takeover,
the business was in rapid decline: the number of employees had reduced from 20 to 11, and the
company was losing money. By 1864 Cadbury was profitable again. The brothers had turned around
the business by moving the focus from tea and coffee to chocolate, and by increasing the quality of
their products.

Nestle and Cadbury are the two of the world's leading chocolate brands.
With the entry of multinationals and home companies sprucing up their act, the confectionery market
is booming. McKinsey & Co. has estimated the confectionery industry to touch a whopping Rs. 10,
500 crore by the year 2018. Till the eighties, the chocolate market was small and the product category

lOMoARcPSD|24907345

itself was fuzzy. In the eighties, Cadbury’s - the virtual monopolist - had decided to focus its efforts
on making chocolates a distinct category with an identity of its own. And the marketer had sharply
positioned its product at children to do that. Hence, chocolates bore an “Only for kids” tag, and kept
adults at bay. By the end of the eighties, Cadbury’s still ruled the roost with over 80 percent market
share. And though several brands - like Amul and Campco - tried to break into the market, none of
them had succeeded in shaking the leader’s grip. In fact, Cadbury’s had become a brand virtually
generic to chocolates. Then chocolates were used to reward and reinforce positive behavior and hence
were categorized as a luxury reserved for special occasions. This was, a stark contrast to the west
where chocolates were snacked on, eaten as mini meals or just to suppress pangs of hunger. But
constant working by players like Cadbury’s (re-launch of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk targeting adults and
as a casual any-time buy) and Nestle towards exploding the myth that chocolates are meant for
children only, has resulted in the segment booming. Trends in the Industry

• With socio-economic changes rapidly taking place, the young and not so young population will lead
a new life style and chocolate eating is definitely going to be widespread and acceptable.
• In the industry, both population and family incomes as well as urbanization are on the increase.
• There has been a significant growth in the middle class, with 5.8 million people having upgraded to
the quoted middle class.• There is quantified data on FMCG usage having increased (NRS-VI &
IRS’98 figures) Thanks to the above reasons the growth in the chocolate market is estimated to be at
22% in 2001. But marketers in the industry are looking forward to a much higher growth rate, as
India’s per capita consumption of chocolates is only 15 grams. Versus 6 Kg in the west.

The firm's first major breakthrough occurred in 1866 when Richard and George introduced an
improved cocoa into Britain. A new cocoa press developed in the Netherlands removed some of the
unpalatable cocoa butter from the cocoa bean. The firm began exporting its products in the 1870s.In
the 1880s the firm began to produce chocolate confectioneries.

In 1878 the brothers decided to build new premises in countryside four miles from Birmingham.The
move to the countryside was unprecedented in business. Better transport access for milk that was
inward shipped by canal, and cocoa that was brought in by rail from London, Southampton and
Liverpool docks was taken into consideration. With the development of the Birmingham West
Suburban Railway along the path of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, they acquired the
Bournbrook estate, comprising 14.5 acres (5.9 ha) of countryside 5 miles (8.0 km) south of the
outskirts of Birmingham. Located next Stirchley Street railway station, which itself was opposite the
canal, they renamed the estate Bournville and opened the Bourneville factory the following year.

In 1893, George Cadbury bought 120 acres (49 ha) of land close to the works and planned, at his own
expense, a model village which would 'alleviate the evils of modern more cramped living conditions'.
By 1900 the estate included 314 cottages and houses set on 330 acres (130 ha) of land. As the
Cadbury family were Quakers there were no pubs in the estate.

In 1897, following the lead of Swiss companies, Cadbury introduced its own line of milk chocolate
bars.

In 1899 Cadbury became a private limited company.

1.1 Significance of the study

In today's time the Indian chocolate market is ruled by the two chocolate power houses of the world
which are NESTLE and CADBURY. I have undertaken this project to compare both of these firms on
the basis of their product mix, marketing mix and a comparative SWOT analysis.
I am doing this project to get a better and a deeper knowledge about the marketing strategies of these
firms and to find out which one is better out of the two.

1.2 OBJECTIVES

lOMoARcPSD|24907345

1. To Gather Necessary Information


Research provides you with all necessary information in field of your work, study or
operation before you begin working on it. For example, most companies do research before
beginning a project in order to get a basic idea about the things they will need to do for the
project. Research also helps them get acquainted with the processes and resources involved
and reception from the market. This information helps in the successful outcome of the
project.

2. To Make Changes
Sometimes, there are in-built problems in a process or a project that is hard to discover.
Research helps us find the root cause and associated elements of a process. The end result of
such a research invokes a demand for change and sometimes is successful in producing
changes as well. For example, many U.N researches have paved way for changes in
environmental policies.

3. Improving Standard Of Living


Only through research can new inventions and discoveries come into life. It was C.V Raman’s
research that prompted invention of radio communication. Imagine how you would have
communicated had Graham Bell not come out with the first ever practical telephone! Forget
telephones, what would have happened if Martin Cooper did not present the world the concept
of mobile phones! Addicted as we are to mobile phones, we need to understand that all the
luxuries and the amenities that are now available to us are the result of research done by
someone. And with the world facing more and crisis each day, we need researchers to find
new solutions to tackle them.

4. For A Safer Life


Research has made ground breaking discoveries and development in the field of health,
nutrition, food technology and medicine. These things have improved the life expectancy and
health conditions of human race in all parts of the world and helped eradicate diseases like

13

Downloaded by Abantika Saha (abantikasaha2018@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|24907345

polio, smallpox completely. Diseases that were untreatable are now history, as new and new
inventions and research in the field of medicine have led to the advent of drugs that not only
treat the once-incurable diseases, but also prevent them from recurring.

5. To Know The Truth


It has been proved time and again that many of established facts and known truths are just
cover ups or blatant lies or rumors. Research is needed to investigate and expose these and
bring out the truth.

6. Explore Our History


Research about our planets history and human history has enabled us to learn and understand
more about our forefathers and helped us learn from their mistakes and absorb good things
from their life. Research about the planet’s history and existence has told us a lot about how
things will shape up in years to come and how we need to respect our planet and work closely
together to stop global warming and other scenarios of destruction.

7. Understanding Arts
This helps us in understanding the work of artists in literature, paintings, sculptures and
everything that can be attributed with artistic touch. If no research is conducted into any of
these, we will never be able to understand any of these as per the artist’s imagination. Also, a
lot of great artistic work is hidden in the shadows of history, which needs to be drawn out.

1.2.1 RELEVANCE OF THE STUDY

lOMoARcPSD|24907345

This research is been conducted to the product performance and buying behavior of consumer in
selection of chocolates. The relevance of the study is the survey the product performance and buying
behavior of two famous brands of chocolates- nestle and Cadbury, which are consumed by people of
all age group. During this research is known which particular brand of chocolate is most preferred by
people of different age groups.

1.2.2 RESEARCH DESIGN

For any researcher the research methodology is most important criteria to decide before the actual
research process starts.

There are many methods for conducting the research; some of them are as under.

a) Descriptive and analytical


b) Applied and fundamental
c) Quantitative and qualitative

The design of a research is plan or a model that helps researcher to conduct a formal investigation
and survey. It is an application of methods and procedures for acquiring the information needs for
getting a desired outcome.

It decides the source of data and methods for gathering data. A good design ensures that the
information obtained is relevant to the research question and it was conducted by objectives since
research design is simply the frame work or plan for a study.

Out of these all research methods the research method, which was most suitable for our report was
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH METHOD because it provides us all the aspects that we require to
conduct the research and get an appropriate outcome.

1.2.3 DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH METHOD

Descriptive research Include surveys and facts finding enquires of different kinds. The major purpose
of descriptive research is description of state of affairs as it exists at present.

1.2.4 DATA COLLECTION

15

Downloaded by Abantika Saha (abantikasaha2018@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|24907345

The data has been collected from the two sources.

• Primary sources
• Secondary sources

Primary data: the data which are collected for the first time, directly from the residents to the base of
knowledge and believe of the research, are called the primary data.

The normal procedure is to interview some people individually or in group to get a sense how people
feel about the topic. So far as this research is considered, primary data is the main source of
information by the respondents.

Secondary data: when the data is collected and compiled in the published nature is called secondary
data.

So far as this research is concerned internet, many brochures and magazines have been referred too.

1.2.5 SAMPLE DESIGN

It is true that it is very difficult to do research with whole universe. So far this purpose sample size is
decided well in advanced and selection of the sample also has to be specific so that it represents the
whole universe.

 Sample element: The members selected from the population for doing the survey constitute
the sampling element.
 Sample Size: A sample of 100 customers was taken as a sample element.
 Sample area: Sample was taken only in North-Delhi to determine the attitude of customers
towards importance of branding in modern marketing.
 Sample Technique: Convenience Sampling because of time and cost constraints.

1.2.6 INSTRUMENTS

Taking into consideration research instruments is selected by us is questionnaire because it gives


more flexibility in terms of the data and has been asked to the respondents personally and has an idea
of getting an important unknown data that can be collected through their behavior.

lOMoARcPSD|24907345

Mode of collection data: data collection mode is personal visit and fulfilling up the questionnaire.

1.3 LIMITATION

To attempt to make this project authentic and reliable, every aspect of the topic was kept in mind.
Nevertheless, despite of the fact constraint were at play during the formulation of this project.

The main limitations are as follows:

a) Due to the limitation of time only few people were selected for the study. So the sample of
consumer was not enough to generalize the finding of the study.
b) The main source of data for the study was primary data with the help of self-administered
questionnaire hence the chance of unbiased information is less.
c) The study was conducted in the limited area so the limited are of the study may affect the
conclusions.
d) It might also be so that some respondents were not motivated enough to respond properly
although full attempt was made to keep it unbiased as possible.
e) The duration of the project was short, so the scope of more in-depth evaluation was not
possible.

COMPANY PROFILE & SWOT ANALYSIS

2.1 NESTLE

2.2 CADBURY

2.1 NESTLE

NESTLE began its operations in Switzerland in the mid-1860s when founder Henry Nestle created
one of the baby formulae. Henry realized the need for a healthy and economical product to serve as
an alternative for mothers who could not breastfeed their babies. Mothers who were unable to

18

lOMoARcPSD|24907345

breastfeed often lost their infants due to malnutrition. Henrys product was a mixture of cow milk,
flour and sugar. It was first use on pre-mature baby who could not tolerate his mother’s milk.
Miraculously the baby tolerated Henry’s products and saved his life. Within a few years the first
NESTLE product was marketed in whole Europe.

In 1905, the company added chocolate to its line of products. The start of world war-I made it
difficult for NESTLE to buy raw ingredients and distribute products. Fresh milk was scares in Europe
and the factories had to sell milk for public needs instead of using it as an ingredient in foods.

Adding to the product line once again, NESTLE developed Nescafe in the 1930s and Nestea followed
after. Nescafe, a soluble powder, revolutionized coffee drinking and became an instant hit.

NESTLE expands across many different markets including beverages, ice cream, baby foods, soups,
frozen foods, snacks and of course, candies.

NESTLE INDIA LTD.

Nestle India Ltd is a subsidiary of NESTLE S.A. of Switzerland. With 7 factories and a large no. of
co-packers. Nestle India is a vibrant company that provides consumers in India with products of
global standards and is committed to long term sustainable growth and shareholders satisfaction. It
employs 4983 employees.

same in its relationships. This has earned it the trust and respect of every strata of society and is
acknowledged amongst India’s “most respected Companies” and amongst the “Top Wealth Creators
of India”.

SWOT ANALYSIS

SWOT analysis is strategies planning method used to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves specifying the
objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are
favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective.

A SWOT analysis first must start with defining a state or objective. A SWOT analysis may be
incorporated in to the strategic planning model. Identification of SWOTs is essential because
subsequent steps in the process of planning for achievement of the selected objective may be derived
from SWOTs.

The strengths and weaknesses are internal to the organization while opportunities and threats are
presented by the external environment to the organization.

In order to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the brand as such I have carried out the
SWOT analysis of the brands, as it exists today. The SWOT analysis would give indications as to
how the marketing strategies should be planned.

As talked about earlier, the chocolate market is on the growth stage of the life cycle. Hence it is

differentiate itself from the clutter of other brands that exist in themarket today. In order to carry out
the SWOT analysis various people were consulted and inputs were obtained from the actual users.

A very peculiar characteristic of the chocolate consumers as we found is that there is an


overwhelming awareness among the users about different brands that exist in the market. There is
however very little brand loyalty in users.

People always are ready to try out new brands and keep on switching from one brand to another. This
behavior poses lot of challenge, as the job of designing of marketing strategies becomes two fold.
Firstly non-users are to be converted to users and more importantly the existing customers should are
not be lost.

The SWOT analysis has been done of two major companies i.e. Cadburys, and Nestle. They are the
major players that cover approximately 95% of Indian chocolate market. The analysis will help to
know what measure the chocolate companies in Indian market should take.

2.1.1 SWOT analysis of cadburys

Strength

1. Cadbury is a company, which is reputed internationally as the topmost chocolate provider in the
world.

2. The brand is well known to people & they can easily identify it from others.

3. Cadbury the world leaders in chocolate, is a well-known force in marketing and distribution.

4. Users have a positive perception about the qualities of the brand.

5. Cadbury main strength is Dairy milk. Dairy milk is the most consumed chocolate in India.

6. By using popular models like Cyrus Brocha, Priety Zinta and others Cadburys has managed to
portray a young and sporty image, which has resulted in converting buyers of other brands to become
its staunch loyalists.

7. Cadbury has well-adjusted itself to Indian custom.

8. It has properly repositioned itself in India whenever required i.e. from children to adults,
togetherness bar to energizing bar for young ones etc.

Weaknesses

1. There is lack of penetration in the rural market where people tend to dismiss it as a high end
product. It is mainly found in urban and semi-urban areas.

2. It has been relatively high priced brand, which is turning the price conscious customer away.

3. People avoid having their chocolate thinking about the egg ingredients.

Opportunities

1. The chocolate market has seen one of the greatest increases in the recent times (almost @ 30%)

2. There is a lot of potential for growth and a huge population who do not eat chocolates even today
that can be converted as new users.

Threat

1. There exists no brand loyalty in the chocolate market and consumers frequently shift their brands.

2. New brands are coming and existing brands are introducing new variants to add up to an already
overcrowded market.

world.

6. It is well known for its distribution network in Indian market.

7. The prices of chocolates of Nestles are comparatively cheap as compared to other companies.

Weaknesses

1. The major weakness is that Nestle does not aim equally at all products. Its main strength has only
been coffee and not chocolates also.

2. There is lack of penetration of chocolates in the rural market where people tend to miss the
chocolate. There is big scope for chocolate in rural market.

3. Even this brand has failed to provide pure vegetarian chocolates in India as per the culture.

Opportunities

1. There is a lot of potential for growth and development as huge population stay in rural market
where other companies are not targeting.

2. Aim their product as per Indian custom and can capture the non-consumers of chocolates.

3. The chocolate market is at growth stage with very less competition so by introducing new brand
and advertising there can be a very good scope in future.

CHAPTER-4
RECOMMENDATIONS

AND

CONCLUSION

RECOMMENDATION

Chocolate products at Delhi city are available in comparison to previous years but still there is
requirement in chocolate products. Due to increasing overall cost in chocolates products everywhere,
cost format should be made as such that it is affordable to each and everyone in the society. In this we
also found that if the demanded brand is not available so at that time, the customer switch over the
brand of the chocolate so, here the company should build up the healthy distribution channel by
which company can attract the customer and company loose the fear from market.

Company should concentrate more on television for advertisement, as mostly people get attracted
through television only for promotional offers, company should concentrate on its free gifts rather
than going for other ways. Nestle company should concentrate on the shape of a chocolate. People

are unsatisfied with the price and quality of chocolate so companies should concentrate this regard
also

CONCLUSION

A survey has been conducted to know the liking pattern of the two products Cadbury and nestle. It
has observed that overall people like to eat nestle brand rather than Cadbury. It is concluded that
mostly people preferred dairy milk of Cadbury due to its flavor, taste, and quality hard form. Some
people often like to have a chocolate with the good flavor, quality taste and crunchiness. It is thus
concluded from the facts collected that mostly people refer to buy big packs of their favorite
chocolate and sometimes some of them go for the small and family pack.
